The KERF. bench, mid-build
[ 02 ] Services

Full-scope custom woodworking.

Four disciplines, one shop, one lead maker per project. Drawn, milled, finished, and installed by the same crew — so nothing gets lost in a handoff.

Cabinetry

Kitchens, butler's pantries, vanities, wardrobes, and built-in storage. Carcasses go together with dominos and dadoes, doors are hung on adjustable European hardware, and every run is dry-fitted in the shop before it ever sees a truck.

  • 01Inset and overlay door construction
  • 02Appliance integration and panel matching
  • 03Solid-timber, veneered, and painted MDF carcasses
  • 04Drawer boxes dovetailed in maple as standard
Slatted timber wall panelling
[ 02/04 ]

Architectural millwork

Wall panelling, acoustic slat linings, reception desks, feature stairs, ceiling rafts, and running trim. If it's drawn once and has to repeat forty times without drifting, this is the work we're built for.

  • 01Slat screens and acoustic linings
  • 02Open-riser and closed-string stairs
  • 03Custom profile grinding for trim and mouldings
  • 04Curved and laminated components
A live-edge dining table
[ 03/04 ]

Furniture

One-off dining tables, casegoods, benches, desks, and seating. You'll see a scaled drawing, then a full-size mock-up of anything you'll touch daily — a handle, an edge profile, a seat curve — before we cut into the good stock.

  • 01Solid-timber and live-edge tables
  • 02Casegoods, sideboards, and desks
  • 03Upholstered seating with in-house frames
  • 04Small-batch runs for hospitality
Restoring an antique piece at the bench
[ 04/04 ]

Restoration

Heritage joinery repair, veneer patching, structural re-gluing, and sympathetic refinishing. We grind matching profiles from your original stock and keep the knife so a repair twenty years from now still lines up.

  • 01Heritage window and door repair
  • 02Veneer and marquetry patching
  • 03Hide-glue re-gluing and consolidation
  • 04Finish matching and French polishing

The process.

Six stages, one lead maker, and no surprises after the deposit.

[ 01 ]

Conversation

A call or a shop visit. We look at your drawings, your budget, and your date, and tell you honestly whether we're the right shop.

[ 02 ]

Survey & drawings

We laser-survey the space as built and model every run in 3D. You approve shop drawings before a sheet is broken down.

[ 03 ]

Samples

Species, finish, and hardware samples go out for sign-off. Colour is matched under your lighting, not ours.

[ 04 ]

Build

Milling, machining, and bench assembly. You get photos at carcass, at dry-fit, and at finish — not just an invoice.

[ 05 ]

Finishing

Everything is finished in our dust-sealed booth and cured before it's wrapped. Nothing is sprayed on your site.

[ 06 ]

Install & handover

The crew that built it scribes and hangs it, protects it, and walks you through care and adjustment before they leave.
